Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.

Write a PARAGRAPH about an animal that is endangered or needs protection. Show causes and effects. Use transitional words.
I´ll give you some ideas for you to choose an animal. And you´ll have a link to find information about it. You have to choose an animal from the list!

Some help…
Remember it is a paragraph!
Remember to describe the animal at the very beginning (2 sentences)
Remember to add cause and effect using the transitional words already learned ( 2 or 3 at least)
Good luck!
